Black Keys Announce Turn Blue World Tour

May 08, 2014

The Black Keys have unveiled an extensive run of headlining dates for the second half of the year via a "press conference" video that features Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney as rival politicians.

After a stop at Alabama's Hangout Music Festival in May, the Keys embark on a month-long European trek starting June 20 in Germany. Starting Sept. 5, the band kicks off a long string of North American arena dates with Cage the Elephant, Jake Bugg and St. Vincent in support, respectively.
